Thanks to a great member on this site I finally scored a set of 5303 hooker super comps....been dreaming if them since the 90's.....now I need to build engine up more to afford the free flow 1 7/8 primary tubes....yehaw
After they’re fitted in for clearance! I know that’s a BIG - PIA!I will definitely get them blasted and Jet hot coated..inside and out
I just simply picked up a 3-1/2 X 5’ pipe. Is the same dang size as the collector! Ugh! LOL! So a pair of connectors. Not really happy about it but it’ll due and be used.I'm looking for the tunable 3.5 " extensions with the primary extensions also
I’m sure you’ll be able to find suitable tubing in that size somewhere. I’d hate to just say run to the Hooker web site and scroll away, though I’m not sure if they have it, but….. somewhere local should be able to help.
Why a Sawzall they slip together.....smhI have to say I completely don’t share your enthusiasm.. I just finished taking a Sawzall to mine in order to remove them…. I completely say invest in TTI’s. You will swear a lot less.
that said, I’m glad you are happy with them. until you go to install them….. sorry I couldn’t resist.
seriously - happy for you…….. I think .
One set I have was sawzalled to take off by another header shop. I wasn’t quick enough to save the first two tubes but the rest are OK.Why a Sawzall they slip together.....smh
Oooooooo yeaaaa, I remember that deal. I did pass on them. I ended up with a second set that was a few hours drive here in Florida being sold by a member here. He also has a race Valore for sale here now. Nice car, no room here. The set I got from him was close in price. So worth the fuel to burn to get them. Excellent fella. We still stay in touch.Hey Rumble I could have never got them without you big guy you turned them down so I could get them big thanks!!!
Excellent tip! I’ll have to remember that.After you're done beating and banging on them to get them to fit, take them up to Calico Coatings near Hickory, NC. It's about a 3 hour drive for you, and they have forgotten more about coating headers than Jet Hot knows!
